I've been wanted to ask that same question for a while now. I wanted more songs to sing to calm him down when he's crying. I only have two songs, one is the Unicorn song and the other is an celtic song that was on a CD I have called the Briar and the Rose. It isn't a baby song but its slow like a lullaby and for whatever reason it seems to be his favorite. I also was singing The Water is Wide from the same CD (plus I sang it as a solo for a comeptition in middle school lol) while we were nursing and weirdly if I am pumping and I start humming it to myself I get a faster et down and more milk. He likes the Briar and the Rose song though.

Haha I'm sooo out of practice vocally that I don't ever sing to Nicholas if hubby is around, I'm afraid he'll make fun of me for being off key lol

I usually sing "Dont worry be happy" or "Three little birds" by Bob Marley. I listened to both of those songs a lot thru my pregnancy. But really she'll calm down to anything that's Bob Marley. Oh and I sing a song I made up w/ the name I call her. I call her Chicken butt and the songs goes

I sing "My Girl" by the Temptations all the time but I change it to my boy and I sing "The Way You do the Things you do" by them also. I sing a couple made up songs. In the tub I sing splish splash I was takin a bath. I sing the Barney song- he loves it. I sing Whitney Houston's "I will always love you." I sing whatever pops in my mind really!! He loves it when I sing...and when we are in the car I really belt it out! =) Both of my boys love to hear me singing....I am sure in a few more years they will realize how horrible I sound though!

I usually just sing random stuff to whatever lullaby tune I can think of at the moment. I just kinda have a "conversation" with her to a song tune.. :) I've heard at this age it doesn't matter what the words are, they're just listening to the sound of your voice...

LOL to cute. There's not many Bob fans out there. I am not sure who peter tosh is, but I love classical music. Especially cello music since that's what I played. I like to put on the classical station on the tv at night when she's trying to go to sleep.

Well I will start out by saying the song I sing to Parker is completely off the wall but... when I change his diaper I sing Super Freak to him except I change the chorus to Super stink super stink he super stinky yeah. Ooh ooh ooh ohhh super stink super stink he super stinky. Nuts I know but he loves it.

Ha! I love the chicken song. I made up a song called "peanut pie". It's just as silly

pie pie I know a peanutI know a peanut pieshe's a little peanutjust a little peanutshe's a little peanut pie (and so on)

she smiles and coos every time I sing it, so I think it's a hit.

Otherwise, itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus, alice the camel (we substitute my dogs name in though) and lullaby. I also play a lot of beethoven for her - piano sonatas - she seems to really enjoy them.

I make up songs about anything and everything :)) It's really goofy and it crack my DH up :)) Joshie seems to enjoy them, so that's all that matters. The latest song we made up goes like this:

Joshie is a stinky boy, Joshie is a stinky boyStinky, stinky, stinkyWho is a stinky boy, who is a stinky boyJoshie, Joshie, Joshie

LOL. This song was born while he was pooping in his daddy's lap. I don't know what happened, but somehow his poop ended up coming out of the diaper all over his upper back. Ewww gross! We had to give him a bath right away even though we usually do that at night :)

I mostly sing non-baby songs. lol. Like whatever's on the radio or the tv or if a song pops into my head that relates to what we're doing ("splish splash" for bathtime). I'm a country music gal, so I listen to that a lot and a really fun one is Josh Turner's "Why Don't We Just Dance" :)

I love reading what everyone wrote... good post! I sing whatever I heard last on the radio or VH1... I find I don't remember more than a few words to any baby song. My Dad says he swears by that song from Sound of Music, Edelweiss (sp?). It seems to work!

Anyone seen that pants on the ground thing on youtube? I believe it was first on american idol. Anyway I sing that to him during diaper changes, 'cept I change it to "diaper on the ground, diaper on the ground, getting all clean with my diaper on the ground" Sometimes I keep the looking like a fool part in there, depends on if he's trying to grin and how many times he's passed gas while I was taking the diaper off.

On the subject of diaper changing songs....

Grayson loves I want a hippopotomus for Christmas. Yeah it isn't a baby song, but I had it stuck in my head and sang it one day and it was a hit. Speaking of Bob Marley, my older kids love him. Thats our summer music! THe other day I heard them singing Grayson a duet in the backseat. Three Little Birds of course, and then Buffalo Soldier. It was hillarious and kinda sweet that they wanted him involved in our traditions and wanted to sing to him with no prompting. (They are 13 and 10 making it that much more surprizing, boys that age are usually so anti-baby)
